Some people claim that God put certain animals on this earth so that we could eat them. We disagree. God might have put gazelles on this earth so that lions had something to eat. Humans, on the other hand, are given a choice. We have the ability to decide not to kill. We have the ability to rise above our "animal" instincts and the need to kill. Animals don't have this ability. A vegetarian diet is just as nutritional as a meat diet (if not more so). The choice is there, it's up to you to decide which path to take.
